jlec question on IRC showed me that probably a lot of people are still using net.* from openrc. I didn't notice it as I am using networkmanager for ages :/ What should we suggest people in wiki for handling network? I guess we can point them to networkmanager and... what more have you tried? Thanks for your thoughts! Reproducible: Always
Any network manager will do. I use net-misc/netctl, which is nice and simple.
Well, it all depends on what they need. You could think of systemd as something alike newnet in OpenRC -- no central network manager but single services instead. For very simple setups like my PC it is usually enough to enable a DHCP client like dhcpcd.service. For semi-static wifi, dhcpcd.service + wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service do their job well. For people who need nice tools, we have NetworkManager, wicd and netctl. For people who need something like simple static setup or random stuff, writing their own services or even local.d.

I have added a bit more to http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd#Native_services
